Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.

Top 100 North Carolina Icons-- Part 10

And, the last one. These are from the July Our State Magazine.

91. VIRGINIA DARE-- First English child born in what is today the United States. And, we still don't know for sure what happened to her.

92. WHITE SQUIRRELS-- The legend has it that sometime around 1949, a carnival truck carrying white squirrels turned over and they escaped. Since then, the stork has brought many white squirrel babies.

93. DUKE CHAPEL-- Gothic-style outside. Three organs with 12,000 pipes inside. Do they play basketball inside?
